playing hostess.

On Thursday afternoon, one of Augustus's favorites (and mine too!) 
is arriving in Charleston. We're counting down the days, Miss Rachel Glass.
after a few years at Baylor...
Even though Dad tends to take far-away pictures,
he did a lovely job with this one.

home is where the heart is. i found mine.

Yes, that's where I'm living. I was walking around at dusk taking photos.
It's official. I'm moving to Charleston.
Daniel Island, to be exact.
Now I need to get one of those decals for my car...
the one with the palmetto and the crescent moon.
I love, love, love Daniel Island.
How lucky am I that I wound up on an island where bicycles 
are absolutely appropriate means of transportation?
I'll probably never leave!

Savannah, don't be jealous, but...

... I think I'm falling for Charleston. 
Yes, it's true that this new adoration could be due to my hotel's close proximity
to King Street and its shopping opportunities.
(It was the same situation in Boston with my hotel being a block away from Newbury Street.)
But how can one deny the fact of how convenient it is when it's discovered
that a person forgot to pack undergarments (how basic), 
and she can simply walk down the street to Victoria's Secret?
There's no denying the benefits of that.
i found this photo here.
But honestly, it's always the history of a city that finds its way into my heart.
On my walk to the MUSC Wellness Center (the wimp in me that couldn't bear 
this morning's humidity opted for a run on the treadmill instead of outside), 
I passed historic building after historic building, houses and churches, etc.
and those buildings always present me with 
an explicable feeling of contentedness.
I'd imagine that's the way these wonderful constructions would feel too.

time for another east coast road trip.

Bound for Charleston this time next week. 
One more step on the path I'm trying to determine...
South Carolina- a land of palmettos, porch swings, and hammocks.
 Absolutely cannot wait to arrive.

My family's most recent trip to Pawleys Island in South Carolina was commemorated by my 
predictable accomplishment of running our golf cart 
into a very large bush outside the house.
My driving skills... they've always been extraordinary.
